Served 123 LLC handles end-to-end subpoena domestication throughout Utah under the UIDDA — Utah Code §§ 78B-17-101 through 302, effective May 12, 2008 — submitted to the District Court clerk in the county where discovery is to be conducted, across all 29 Utah counties and 8 judicial districts. Our Utah practice covers Goldman Sachs Salt Lake City, Intermountain Health, the University of Utah / Huntsman Cancer Institute, the Silicon Slopes tech cluster (Ancestry, Qualtrics, Vivint, Pluralsight, BYU), and Hill Air Force Base F-35A Lightning II — with Utah's distinctive § 78B-17-103 reciprocity screening built into every order.
Utah UIDDA is available only if the originating state has enacted UIDDA or substantially similar provisions. Since nearly all states have adopted UIDDA since 2008, the requirement is almost always satisfied — but for the remaining non-UIDDA jurisdictions (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, Wyoming), an alternative commission-based process under URCP 45 is required. We screen every order at intake.
Utah's UIDDA is one of only a handful of state implementations that expressly requires reciprocity. Under Utah Code § 78B-17-103(3), parties resident in another state may use Utah UIDDA for issuance, service, or enforcement of subpoenas only if the other state has enacted UIDDA or enacted provisions substantially similar to UIDDA. Because the vast majority of U.S. states have now adopted UIDDA — including the recent additions of Nebraska (2021), Ohio (2016), and Rhode Island (2019) — this requirement is satisfied in virtually every out-of-state matter. The narrow exceptions are the remaining non-UIDDA jurisdictions (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, Wyoming, and a handful of territories). Counsel from those jurisdictions seeking Utah discovery must use an alternative commission-based process under Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 45, typically through the Utah Courts out-of-state attorney resources. Served 123 LLC confirms reciprocity at intake on every Utah order and routes non-reciprocal matters through the correct alternative process.
Utah operates a statewide electronic filing system through the Utah Courts website, including MyCase for case access and electronic filing for District Court civil matters. The system supports UIDDA submissions across all 29 Utah counties. Utah has adopted detailed URCP 45 subpoena form requirements and maintains approved out-of-state attorney guidance at utcourts.gov. Served 123 LLC files through Utah's eFiling infrastructure on every Utah order and confirms the clerk's filing fee at intake.
Utah adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act effective May 12, 2008 (Chapter 278, 2008 General Session), codified at Utah Code §§ 78B-17-101 through 78B-17-302 — the Utah Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act. Utah was among the earliest state adopters of the uniform act. The Utah UIDDA is supplemented by Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 45, which governs Utah subpoena form, service, and enforcement.
Under § 78B-17-201, a party submits a foreign subpoena to a clerk of the District Court in the Utah county where discovery is to be conducted. Utah's District Court is the state's general-jurisdiction trial court. Utah has 29 counties organized into 8 judicial districts. Per Utah Courts guidance, only the clerk of court may issue a Utah subpoena based on a foreign subpoena — although URCP 45(a)(2) generally permits Utah attorneys to issue subpoenas as officers of the court for domestic matters, the UIDDA foreign-subpoena path is clerk-issued.
Utah's UIDDA is notable for its § 78B-17-103(3) reciprocity requirement — Utah UIDDA is available only if the originating state has adopted UIDDA or substantially similar provisions. This is not a feature of most state UIDDA implementations. In practice, since virtually all U.S. states now have UIDDA, the requirement is easily satisfied for nearly every out-of-state matter — but for the small number of remaining non-UIDDA jurisdictions (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, Wyoming), counsel must use an alternative commission-based process under URCP 45. Served 123 LLC confirms reciprocity at intake on every Utah order.
